When Americans are asked to identify the country from which America gained its independence, 76% correctly name Great Britain. A handful, 2%, think America's freedom was won from France, 3% mention some other country (including Russia, China, and Mexico, among others named), while 19% are unsure.

Yeah pretty much. You die instantly when the projectile smashes through the midbrain or the brain stem where the autonomic controls are.

Well, as soon as the forward temple is hit really hard (even by a punch), it can cause the person to lose consciousness, go into comatose state or even die.

From what I am taught, the best way to incapacitate a person without him dying too fast is to ram a small knife into the hollow area between the shoulder blade and the collar bone.

It causes so much pain and minimal blood loss, great for countering knife attacks from a robber.

Most of all, you have to be disciplined and you have to save, even if you hate our current financial system. Because if you don't save, then you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.

In theory yes if you're using a short blade knife. Ramming a long knife into the thoracic inlet can cut off the one of the common carotid arteries and that WILL kill someone within seconds to minutes.

Not if the blade is less than 6-7 cm if I am not wrong. The closest artery is rather deep inside the body.

Hmm, I don't know how interesting this is, but here's a fact about airplanes:

The reason they don't make airplanes out of Black Box material is because it's so frickin' heavy, the plane won't be able to fly at all. Besides, just becaue the outer plane survives doesn't mean the people inside is safe too...

(you know, because some when people hear that a black box is recovered from a plane that got into accident and drown, they often ask "why don't all the plane made out of the same material to ensure its safety?)

The place where I am taught this had plenty - it is standard issue for me (us) back then.

Also, if you urinate when swimming in a South American river, you may encounter the Candiru. Drawn to warmth, this tiny fish is known to follow a stream of urine to its source, swim inside the body, and flare it's barbed fins. It will remain firmly embedded in the flesh until surgically removed.
